Hot Dish Review

In honor of Labor Day, I wanted to post something helpful for all you grillers. I’ve discovered Sommers Organic Extra Lean Burgers in the frozen meat department at Publix (or was it Kroger?), and they rock!

Each package contains four 1/4 lb burgers, individually wrapped for convenience. The cattle aren’t shot full of hormones to make them grow bigger faster or antibiotics to control the infections caused by feeding them corn. In fact, they are actually grass fed, like the burgers at Yeah! Burger.

I’m really happy that Americans are finally becoming aware of the dangers of antibiotics and hormones used in foods, and making educated choices about what they put into their mouths. The trendy organic, sustainable restaurants are making an impact. If you haven’t seen it already, please watch Food, Inc. It is amazing the shit our government allows to be put in food….nasty fillers, chemicals. All to protect big pharmaceutical companies that line their pockets. It’s disgusting.

Back to Sommers burgers. I’ve made a few in a skillet, about 3 minutes per side for a perfectly juicy medium burger. At only 130 calories per patty, they are as friendly to your waistline as they are to the environment. The nutritional breakdown is 25 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, and 2 grams of carbs.

I eat mine bunless on a bed of lettuce and tomato, with pepperjack and caramelized onions. What do you put on your burger? Try Sommers and tell me what you think!

Happy Labor Day!
